Hopefully this fridays Padres spring training game will not be blacked out like this past Saturday's was outside of the San Diego viewing area. I still say it was a error on Directv's part and not the customers.

When will the directv website be updated? The channel is not in the list.

Also when will the RSN lookup tool be updated? It is still showing Prime Ticket as channel 694. There is no information for Fox Sports San Diego. I don't know if the Las Vegas area will require premier or sports pack to get the channel.

And another good question is when will FS San Diego become a full-time channel? Cox already has it 24/7. I missed the Padres season preview show last Saturday, and I know it is being re-aired throughout this week.

Isn't Vegas dodgers territory? If so, you will never get it in the sports pack, only if you get extra innings. Unless they both claim that dma???

How knows when the look up tool will be updated, but I am sure that's the last thing they worry about.

As for when will it go full time, I'd say not till after the next sat launches at the earliest, if I use just logic. There is no reason to have it in hd full time. All other games are duplicated on another channel that is available to all the same subs that would be allowed to get those games in hd full time already.

I think it is also Padres territory. And for San Diego residents, there is a reason to have it full-time. FS San Diego does have exclusive programming (albeit very little) that we can't see. Like the Padres season preview show and Padres game replays.

Using the Las Vegas Strip zip code in the MLB.tv lookup tool, basically all California teams plus the Diamondbacks claimed Vegas as its territory.

The only real issue is when the games are on OTA in their respective cities or when the games aren't broadcasted by the home network. When I lived in Vegas, there were many times when I wanted to watch the Dodgers/Giants and were only televised on their respective OTA stations, same when I wanted to watch the Angels and Yankees when the game is on KCOP. MLB needs to address this gap otherwise it will continue to be frustrating.

At least with the Padres, this won't be a problem. FS San Diego will broadcast 158 games. The remaining 4 games will be national broadcasts on ESPN/FOX.

Yeah, that part sucks. I hope I am wrong, but I think if they where going to carry it full time they would have launched it full time, unless fox has a bandwidth issue and they are waiting for upgrades. Otherwise, I just don't see DirecTV wanting to limit their ability to add a full time hd channel by tying one up for a channel when they don't need to.

An extra $12.99 per month drastically affects my savings over keeping cable. I've heard conflicting answers regarding sports pack and FS San Diego for my zip code from the CSRs. I want something in print before I even begin to think about agreeing to a 2 year contract.

It is a games only service this year on Directv. In the future it certainly has the potential to be a 24/7 network but I don't know if any of that is locked down. Can only speak of it in this year's situation.

But can a sub in Vegas get it without the sports pack like a sub in San Diego could?

It becoming full time likely has to do with what happens with the lackers channel and what happens to fsn west / prime ticket after teams move over.

SR was last weeks 721 message a mistake or can those out of SD not be able to see Padres games?
